@steveklabnik The link to explanation of unstable features is actually not that great. It links to the books 'nightly' page which is mostly another explanation of how to download nightly. What I really wanted was an explanation of release channels and how unstable features work. |

This updates the pitch to 'Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, never segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.' cc @kmcallister |

I like changing this slogan, but 'never' is a bit strong here, given unsafe code. it's a hard caveat to fit in a slogan, though
* -s means don't display progress. this will be a quick download * -S means display error messages despite -s * -f means turn errors into error return codes so we don't pipe garbage html into sh
It sounds slightly stronger to me, and 'more' is also used in the additional examples link.

Updated. @steveklabnik I tried to incorporate your suggestion as 'The current stable release of Rust, updated every six weeks and backwards-compatible.' |

what about 'at compile time' here, since that's the magic?
sorry for suggesting even more coats of paint :(
Do not merge yet.
This removes the asterisk about laundry, adds 1.0 links to the header, and a section of stable installers to install.html, adjusts the curl flags, removes .exe in favor of .msi.
One thing to note is that instead of adding additional stable links to the header I replaced beta with stable. It felt a bit overwhelming having a third set of duplicate links, and the beta docs seemed pretty dispensable.
